Did you have your partitions already created with XFS? Or did you use a
"clean" disk?
Could you try to add "clearpart --all" to your configuration?
I've tried your ks.cfg but I still get the same error. I get the messages:
"Formatting
/, formatting /usr, formatting /home, ... but these commands don't take
much time. Therefore
I presume that the formatting has not been done correctly.
Below is my ks.cfg file which works fine with RH 7.1 but not with SGI
installer.
I did not add '--fs xfs' because XFS is the default.
